Jean
Chapel, born as Opal Jean Amburgey, left her Neon, KY, home at 13 to perform
daily with her sisters in the Sunshine Sister Band at Lexington, KY's WLAP in
1938. Even at such a young age, Chapel's personality and star potential came
shining through as she sang lead on most songs. She had started in the band at
age 11, after her father sold some of his carpentry tools to buy her a banjo. At
15, she began writing songs and would record and publish more than 170 before
her death in 1995, songs that were recorded by the likes of Rosemary Clooney,
Dean Martin, Patsy Cline,
Roy Rogers, and
Eddy Arnold. In 1940, the sisters moved
to Atlanta's WSB, which gave her the name "Mattie." In 1947, Amber married
performer Floyd "Salty" Holmes and the two performed together for years at the
Grand Ole Opry, on television, radio, and in concert. Amber recorded as Opal
Jean in the early '50s and with her Sunshine Sisters. She became Jean Chapel in
1956 when she began recording rockabilly songs like "I Won't Be Rocking Tonight"
with Sun Records, which called her the female
Elvis Presley and even released her "Welcome
to the Club" on the B-side of an Elvis
single. Chapel divorced Holmes and moved to Nashville, where she concentrated on
writing through the '60s. She became neighbors with
Tammy Wynette, who began recording Chapel's songs and did a duo with her
called "Crazy Me."
Wynette was also briefly married to Chapel's brother. The Country Music
Association named her song "To Get to You" one of the year's five best in 1973.
